Ruairi Dwyer MBE
The unrelenting pursuit of excellence. This is a principle that Ruairi is passionate about. It has served him well during his long and exemplary military career, in his own leadership roles, and in his efforts to equip others to lead. Ruairi loves sharing the insights, knowledge, and experience he has accumulated over the years - through ups and downs - and seeing its positive impact on his clients.
"The experience and knowledge I have to offer has been honed over time; a long road with many ups and downs. I love the fact that those experiences can be used to provoke thought and change in others; that it can benefit them."
